Knowing the #symptoms of this #vaccine-preventable #disease can help reduce its chance of spreading. Here is a comparison of #measles symptoms in children & adults.
According to the [fmr] #CDC, measles symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after contact with the #virus & typically include high fever, cough, runny nose & watery eyes. Measles rash appears 3 to 5 days after the first symptoms.
The #outbreak has led to at least 155 hospitalizations, including 431 adults & 824 children. There have been 3 confirmed deaths.
The #measles #virus is one of the most contagious #InfectiousDiseases. It's so #contagious that 92% of #unvaccinated people who are exposed end up contracting the disease. And 1 in 5 of those people end up in the #hospital, according to [what’s left of] the CDC.
Everyone always asks me, "Laura, what's the best way to stay healthy without using medications?"
My name isn't Laura.
Get vaccinated, you fucking freaks.
Long COVID Rates Higher in Women: Evidence Grows
The study analyzed data from over 12,200 participants who had been infected by COVID between 2021 and 2024. Even after adjusting for clinical and demographic factors, women had a 31%-44% higher likelihood of developing long COVID than men. The risk was especially pronounced among nonpregnant, nonmenopausal participants.
2 cases of #measles confirmed in Prince Edward Island with many public exposure sites listed.
Health officials say 2 people diagnosed were 'unvaccinated or partially vaccinated'...

We're playing the "Is it covid?" game again..
I spent time in a car with 7 other people on Monday when I dropped the car in to be serviced, and I was the only one masked (of course).
I feel like shit now - headache, temperature, body aches, exhausted. The initial test is negative, so here's hoping it's a fibro flare up and nothing else.
Greg arrives on the 8th for 3 weeks, so if I have covid I'm going to be pissed.. It took me almost 8 weeks to get over it when I got it in 2022, and I don't want to miss out in time with him.
Raina McIntyre:
Unicef estimates that in the absence of a vaccine, the world would have seen 5 million deaths due to smallpox every year in the mid-1990s. I am sure anti-vaccine groups would be raging against the statistic that smallpox vaccines, by achieving eradication, has prevented over 190 million deaths since 1980.
Without vaccines, we would see a rise in vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, polio, meningitis and so on, and a rise in infant mortality as a result. Until about 20 years ago, infectious diseases were among the leading causes of death in the world. We may see previously rare infectious diseases climb again to become a top cause of death in the world. Covid and lower respiratory infections are already in the top 10.

Cringe your way through #RFKJr's bonkers interview with #DrPhil
The insanity continues w/ #HHS Secy RFKJr, who appeared on Dr. Phil’s YouTube channel Tues to crow about the “revolution” in health he & the #Trump admin are administering to the American people.
The interview was chock-full of RFKJr’s usual #ConspiracyTheories, ranging from debunked anti-#vaccine theories to #chemtrail nonsense.

"Overall, Texas has identified 664 cases since late January. Of those, 64 patients have been hospitalised, and two unvaccinated school-aged children with no underlying medical conditions have died of the disease. An unvaccinated adult in New Mexico also died from the infection, bringing this year's measles death toll to three."
Good grief! Measles has been cured in the rest of the world for decades.
Get vaccinated!
A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.
Intended “to better understand the short, medium and long-term impacts of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland,” the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Statewide Study boasted 10,000 adult participants across 86% of postcodes, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, generating over 100,000 biospecimens and 11 million data points.
“It’s a terrible example of research wastage and loss of a globally significant opportunity to realise benefits and generate knowledge through research based on the unique samples provided by the 10,000 Queenslanders who gave consent and participated,” Professor Davies, who heads up the Allergy Research Group at QUT, told Canberra Daily.
...a man who never tests and doesn't mask.

“If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained, global wave of sickness.”

#HHS officials PREVIOUSLY said they were shipping doses of the #measles #mumps #rubella [#MMR]vaccine to #Texas, but RFKJr did not discuss vaccination.
